about four years, with time spent on an actual jobsite and at the training
center. You’ll be working and learning while getting paid, with benefits!

We keep tabs on our alumni and offer an incredible list of refresher and
extended learning courses (called Journeyman Skill Updates) to keep you
on top of your game and in demand.

The traits that lured you toward this career are the same characteristics that
catch the eye of employers when they need someone to take charge of a project.
When you get noticed for a promotion, we offer foreman and superintendent
career training to help you move up the ladder.

largest and oldest trade union in the country. It’s an elite group
that has your back, because The United Brotherhood of Carpenters protects
its own. And if you get involved in your local union’s activities
and have a good head on your shoulders, you have the chance to be a leader,
travel to the UBC’s Las Vegas training center for special training,
and earn the respect of your co-workers and the contractor you work for.
